Is there data proving that affirmative action and productivity are related?

There is no general consensus in scholarly work, but here are some contrasting examples of conclusions some authors have reached: 1) Affirmative action has not decreased productivity: jstor.org/pss/145562 2) Affirmative action has little productivity costs unless they are significantly politically motivated: heinonline.org/HOL/LandingPage?collectio... 3) Affirmative action has no decrease productivity because test scores and differentials are not related to work productivity: heinonline.org/HOL/LandingPage?collectio... 4) Affirmative action's effect on productivity is difficult to measure and therefore we cannot know: questia.com/googleScholar.qst;jsessionid... 5) Affirmative action has little effect on productivity but seems to create negative perception of itself: jstor.org/pss/2534808.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
